Foodies—We Found Your Perfect Weekend Away

Sure, Philly is considered one of the greatest food destinations along the east coast, but that doesn’t mean you can’t venture outside the city limits once in a while to see what’s on offer elsewhere. And we found the perfect place to do it this fall. Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa is hosting a can’t-miss weekend-long event (November 9th and 10th!) showcasing everything foodies love most—renowned chefs, great drinks and even better eats.

The weekend is jam-packed with 18 events including cooking demonstrations and classes, chef meet-and-greets, cocktail parties, and specialty dinners. Here’s some of the highlights you can register for now:
